This can be a fun streamer pattern to use different materials to get the exact pattern that you want. For a completely weightless fly try using some egg yarn in replacement of the bead. This can allow for a more realistic egg as well by adding a blood dot or making a multicolored egg. Play around with different feathers for the body to get more rigid or more supple support for the collar. Typically in faster water a more rigid feather is preferred.
This is a classic streamer that can be used in plenty of different applications for different types of fish. Use this fly in the heat of spawning season to get reaction strikes from other fish looking for a protein packed meal that comes complete with a side. This fly is an excellent streamer for both cold and warm water species, so give it a try no matter where you are.
This fly can be fished with either a strip streamer retrieve with a bump strip retrieve, or fished on the swing. If fishing with a strip retrieve, the cooler the water temperature is, the slower the retrieve should be. In the coldest months, crawling it along the bottom can be effective. If swinging this fly, use a traditional swing style approach by casting the fly towards the opposite bank and downstream by approximately 45 degrees. If fishing fast water, or across multiple currents, an upstream mend may help by keeping the fly in the strike zone for longer.
